• I came into DELSU in 2004 as a Lecturer I, at the early stage of the development of the College of Health Sciences and assisted in curriculum development and laying the foundation for a proper clinical faculty and medical school. I am currently an Associate Professor. I am also a consultant at the Delta State University Teaching Hospital at Oghara. I teach and practice all aspects of obstetrics and gynaecology but with a bias towards oncology. My research interests cuts across the entire specialty with current focus on gynaecological oncology and reproductive health problems. My hobbies include travelling, reading and playing Scrabble.
